Astor & Black Custom Clothiers

The Power Suit Dilemma: to become powerful you must own one, but if you're not already powerful you can't afford to buy one, much less blow off two hours of work to get fitted. The solution: Astor & Black.

A fully-bespoke, handmade line, A&B's the preeminent custom clothier for any man seeking to look as successful as his gullible grandmother already believes he is. But instead of gouging you, AB offers their goods for 50-80% less than both custom and off-the-rack competitors: $500 for a studly suit with all the trimmings, $800 for a suit made with Zegna Fabric, on up to $1300 for threads cut from the same Scabal fabric used for the "Purple Label" collection (a collab between Ralph Lauren and...Prince?). Dress shirts custom-made with the same tenderness are only $75-$100, add-ons (from buffalo-horn buttons to monogrammed crests) are free, and sweet special packages are always available.

Check out these packages -- you will not be able to take your eyes off of them

Best of all, A&B will send a professional fitter to your office any time, day or night, even on extremely short notice. Of course, this could sap your career motivation, because when you can make a man come to your place of business at midnight just to measure the girth of your thigh, how much more power do you need?
